AP RACING CP2649-1 PAINT KIT-TEMP

A suitable paint kit can be obtained under AP Racing Part No CP2649-1, this kit contains three 15ml pots of paint, Green (turns white at 430°C), Orange (turns yellow at 560°C) and Red (turns white at 610°C) plus thinners and three brushes.When assessing brake temperatures it is important to complete several successive laps (5 or preferably 10) at race speeds and vehicle weight to allow temperatures to stabilise at a representative level.Typically when running within the correct temperature range the Green paint (430°C) will turn throughout, the Orange paint (560°C) 50% to 100% throughout and the Red paint (610°C) turned up to 5mm from each brake face. If the Red paint (610°C) turns throughout, the discs are running too hot. Disc face grooving is also an indication of running too hot.
